Use the cbc format (cbc is a collection of comics and you can specify a title for each included comic)
Details are http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...ok-collections |

Still having problems with the comic book collections. I followed the directions in the link and then selected all the files and created an archive using windows then changed the extension from zip to cbc. When I go to convert in calibre, I get an error saying it failed to convert. I can't really decipher the log to figure out what I did wrong but here's what I get:
Code:

The problem is whatever editor you used to create the comics.txt file is writing it in UTF-16 instead of UTF-8

Out of order
Hi there. I just tried out calibre's .cbc to .epub capabilities and created a great .epub with a TOC for my comic, but there's one problem. A couple pages are out of order.
In one chapter (So far, I'm reading through the rest), page 50 should have been after page 4. The page was named in a regular scheme that worked for everything else wasn't a split double page. It was, however, directly after a page that was automatically split. The split page (p02-03) is fine, but the following (pg04) is now page 50. How do I get it back in order? I've opened the epub in Sigil, but the ordering it shows me is even more out of whack. Each page is named in this scheme: Ichigo_v01_c##_##.png, where c## is the chapter number and ## is the page number. The double page is named as this: Ichigo_v01_c01_02-03.png The out of order page is named this: Ichigo_v01_c01_04.png Help? |

Done. .cbc and .epub were both too big to attach, so I uploaded them to mediafire. They're linked in a comment in the ticket.

Hmm I have a kind of annoying problem I would really appreciate some help with. I am creating a .cbc file from some downloaded manga and Calibre adds not only the chapter links like I want but it also creates a link for every page in the manga chapter.
I want this: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 And I get: Chapter 1 Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Etc...more pages Chapter 2 And so on. The inside of my .cbc file looks like this: one_piece_001.cbz one_piece_002.cbz one_piece_003.cbz comics.txt My comics.txt has this in it: one_piece_001.cbz:Chapter One one_piece_002.cbz:Chapter Two one_piece_003.cbz:Chapter Three I would really appreciate some help. |

Epub format. I was under the impression that the epub format allowed chapter creation. I also tried pdf for the hell of it and I ended up with no chapter links at all. I managed to get the chapters working in epub with a different program but that program does nowhere as good of a job formatting the comics as calibre.

In epub you will get a hierarchical TOC with the entries from the cbc at the top level and the pages at lower levels.

Ah ok thanks for the response. If I don't want the lower level entries can I disable this in the TOC preferences?
